It's About Time - The Return of WONDER-Full

Over 5 years ago, when we first closed the deal to take over the space that is now Liv, we started talking through programming with potential partners, etc. To give them an idea of the breadth of events that we would like to be doing. One of the events that I put out there as one of the parties I hoped to be able to do was Wonder-Full.

We brought this party to DC for the first time in Nov '07. It's history is long and storied and maybe peaked the night after our first party, when Stevie Wonder himself attended the NY edition after his performance at Madison Square Garden. I got a text from Spinna early am. It made my day.

This party started after the cult response to Wonder Wrote It....a mixtape by Bobbito and DJ Spinna. (I sent a friend who was working at Billboard at the time, to Fatbeats to buy myself and her one of the highly sought after and hard to get Wonder Wrote It double CDs. Word is that no one in the Billboard office did any more work that afternoon.)

Our second edition in DC was on Inauguration Eve 2009 leading into Obama's historic day here in DC. Bananas. Spinna text me early the morning after election night. Sold! Couldn't think of a better fit. Rosie Perez and Spike Lee's people were calling to get tix...We were sold out and tix were on craiglist for $200. It was like we had transported the club to NY. I remember the music cut back by the DJ standing outside the building in the cold and hearing the entire building..all four floors, singing Stevie's songs time and time again...acapella...loud and clear.

It's been far too long. So the return is here.

Sat Oct 8th. WONDER-Full is back.

Mark your calendars and get your tix early.
